I agree that's what my truck was doing not long ago but mine would do it when it was hot. I seen on Ebay they have a heavy duty one for a good price.
Good luck! GMC
PS-The other ideas sound good as well check your cables also see if you have power to the solenoid.

The clicking sound is the solenoid engaging.
